The Los Angeles Dodgers have closed some of the gap between themselves and the series-leading Atlanta Braves, winning 5-2 at Dodger Stadium today. Dodgers right-hander Chris Volstad was named player of the game after he threw 6 innings of 5-hit ball. The win cuts the deficit facing the Dodgers to 3-1 in the best-of-7 League Championship Series.

Luigi Rodriguez swatted a solo home run for Los Angeles in the bottom of the fourth. The center fielder went 2 for 4 for the game, including 1 home run and 1 double. He scored 2 runs and batted in 1.

"We put it together today and came out with the win," Rodriguez said in postgame remarks. "That's the main thing."

Game 5 is scheduled for tomorrow at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. The scheduled starters for the game are Martires Cadet for Atlanta and Jarred Cosart for Los Angeles.
